If the NHC used a new naming system?

Well, I was thinking that if the NHC decided to stop using people names to label hurricanes (for whatever reason), then what do you think they should use instead?
IMO, I think they should use elements. (My very science-y friend would be delighted)

Even if the NHC went away from using names, the media never will. They have resorted to naming winter storms because it creates drama, draws in viewers and is easy. The media would never let it go.
